Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomOn this occasion it didn't matter but breakfast was by time slot from 08.30 which could be too late if we had specific plans for the day.
Location, parking, room size, facilities - freshly ground coffee was a lovely touch.

United KingdomWe found the parking was more limited than we had expected and whilst manoeuvring the car was possible, it required a lot of care, especially if all the other spaces had been taken.
Our welcome from Liz was most welcoming and informative. The breakfasts beautifully cooked and presented by Ivan were very filling and just right for providing a substantial meal for a day out in the countryside. The choice was excellent.

United StatesWifi was almost non existent in our room.
We had Room 2 which was large, with plenty of storage and a nice seating area for having tea/coffee in the room. Plenty of choice for breakfast and freshly cooked to order (a form is left in the room for each person to fill out with preferences and left outside the night before). Elizabeth and Ivan were very welcoming and helpful, especially with local recommendations.

AustraliaExcellent and highly recommended place to stay. The view is beautiful with well cared for wildlife just outside your window and the piteresque sight of the landscape. The rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable with a tray of an assortment of refreshments. The hosts were kind and gave us information about the location and suggestions on activities, ensuring that we were comfortable throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay enough that we arranged to stay another night.

A lovely quiet place an easy walking distance from Bakewell town. There was space to park that was secure and convenient. The food was generous and well prepared. The lady who owns the place was lovely and gave excellent advice for things to do each day we were there. The rooms are very comfortable and more spacious than the photos suggest. Bathrooms were modern, good hot showers and facilities. The whole place was well kept and a great example of a proper English BnB.

United KingdomLarge bath towels were not in the bathroom but rectified the next day. Ivan was very apologetic . Bathroom was very warm but bedroom less so. Shower fan seems to be on for a very long time and perhaps setting needs adjusting? The views from the breakfast room were spoiled by brightly coloured barriers to differentiate private outside areas.
Very warm welcome from Ivan so we didn't need to use the key safe . We had prearranged a very early arrival to enable us to park at the property and then to take the bus to Chatsworth House but we hadn't expected our room to be ready (11:30) but it was. Excellent service.
